Full Truth Social post:

This wouldn’t be the first time Bill Gates met with President Trump.

The Hill commented:

Various tech executives have also already met with Trump in Florida, hoping, in part, to forge a better relationship with the Republican as his administration is set to kick off in late January.

Gates has been critical of Trump in the past, specifically about his foreign policy rhetoric as well as his administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But the Microsoft co-founder congratulated Trump on his November victory over Vice President Harris, despite endorsing the Democratic nominee and reportedly boosting a Harris-aligned PAC with a $50 million donation. His ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, also endorsed Harris in the 2024 White House contest.

Gates, a tech billionaire, met with Trump in New York City in December 2016.

“It was a good time,” Gates said at the time. “We had a good conversation about innovation, how it can help in health, education, the impact of foreign aid and energy, and a wide-ranging conversation about power of innovation.”

President Trump’s Truth Social post is getting a lot of attention, and it’s intriguing for many reasons…

There seems to be more than meets the eye with this post.

Here’s what people are saying on X:

This is strangely written, no?

The New York Post reported:

President-elect Donald Trump claimed Friday that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had asked to come to his Mar-a-Lago estate — in a cryptic message that some even speculated was meant for Elon Musk’s eyes only.

“Where are you? When are you coming to the ‘Center of the Universe,’ Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT,” the incoming president wrote in a mysterious post on Truth Social.

Netizens wondered whether the missive had been meant just for Musk, Trump’s closest confidant at the Palm Beach, Fla., resort during the transition, given the personal tone — “We miss you and x!” — and direct request for attendance — “come, tonight.”

X is also nickname for Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii, who the tech magnate has hoisted on his shoulders and brought along with him to meetings on Capitol Hill and for Trump’s watch party at Mar-a-Lago when he won the 2024 election.
